Yesterday's news on my dad:
(around noon PST) The procedure was a no-go this morning, don't know the details, but among things mentioned was a blood sugar reading of 600 overnight (I guess that would do it). Right now he says "things are up in the air", but he didn't sound very happy about it.
(Around 5PM PST) Last night Dad had a mild heart attack which was confirmed during a short stay in the cardiac intensive care
unit. He has since been moved into the regular cardiac care unit and
expects another attempt tomorrow morning to complete the angiogram (dye contrast scan of his blood vessels) he wasn't able to have this morning.
I really appreciate the prayers that are being offered up. As in most families, there are always unresolved personal issues between parents and children, and among the sibling group. I am blessed that I have so many brothers and sisters and that we are in communication, despite all the other stuff over the years. It's hard being scattered all over the USA, but we were raised to have that combination of self-sufficient and stick-together that will help, I think.
I'm not yet to the point of trying to take leave from work and scrape together an airline ticket to SoCal - but there's the doom and gloom part of my brain that is starting to head than direction. I'm right now just planning to wait and see what the next few days bring.
May the Lord be with Him and You - I will pray also
Continuing to hold you all in prayer.
God Bless.
Prayers.
I'm praying for you, too.
I was just thinking about that entry you wrote a week or so ago about the impending doom you were feeling and you just thought it was about the weather or just the winter blahs...I think you my be a little intuitive, like Mom.
I love you sis!
Oh hon, I'm so sorry to hear of this development. Your dad will continue to have my prayers.
You are in our prayers.
You're in my prayers.
Praying, too.
